Lyla's Ghostly Adventure

Lyla’s Ghostly Adventures is a JavaScript-based platformer game developed using Scratch. In the game, you play as Lyla, a shy ghost, who is lost and must collect spirit orbs to find her way back home. It was made as part of my Game Development & App Design internship with Pilina Education. Pilina Education provides work-based learning opportunities for high school students. At the end of my internship I got to present my project to industry professionals during a final showcase.

Throughout my internship, I worked on designing and coding a simple level as a demo for the final showcase. The sprites and background and platform tiles were found from Spriter’s Resource and itch.io. The biggest challenge for me was coding the parallax background and implementing gravity into the game.

Throughout the program, I improved my JavaScript skills. I can quickly code in JavaScript and I developed my UI design skills as well. Although I did not create the assets myself, I did learn about color theory and design. I learned about what colors would go together and how to use colors to help certain sprites stand out.
